He has released several albums to critical acclaim, exploring themes of memory, landscape, and introspection.

Black Ankle Vineyards is a family-owned winery situated in the rolling hills of Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains. Established in 2010 by Jody and Sarah Fiorentino, the vineyard focuses on producing small-batch wines from cool-climate varietals. The name “Black Ankle” originates from the historical term used to describe the dark soil found in the region – a result of mineral-rich shale bedrock. The vineyard emphasizes sustainable farming practices and minimal intervention winemaking techniques. Beyond wine production, Black Ankle Vineyards is recognized for hosting events that combine art and nature within its scenic setting. The property offers both indoor and outdoor spaces suitable for performances.
